Hi,
In the last super group meeting (dtd: 13 th May 21, Thursday), it was pointed out that the vendor I found in India is selling thermal protectors in a much cheaper rate than what's available in the US. I received request from one of the collaborators to send the details. Here it goes:

Vendor name : RN Controls
Address: 88,U Block, M. G Road, Kovai Podur, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India - 641042
Email: mcontrols25@gmail.com
Ph: +919894048753

Please ping to hawazin.khaleel@gmail.com of you have any questions.

Hi,
When using nichrome wire as heater element, there is an issue of wires getting shorted to the pot. To prevent that, I used ceramic beads ( inspired from Alexis manual ), which give enough space between wire and the pot, so they are not shorted. I JB welded beads to the pot and put the wire through it.

Now I have to put mortar/ furnace cement over it so it act as a heat shield and prevent the damage of insulation.

Details of vendor in India
